Pride & Prejudice2005

Elizabeth Bennet:
Do you deny it, Mr.Darcy? That you seperated a young couple who loved each other, exposing your friend to the censure world of caprice and *my sister* to derision and dissapointed hopes, involving them both in acute misery of the acutest kind and...

Mr. Darcy:
I do not deny it.

Elizabeth Bennet:
How could you do it?

Mr. Darcy:
Because I believed your sister was indifferent.

Elizabeth Bennet:
Indifferent?

Mr. Darcy:
I observed them most carefully and realized his attachment was far deeper than hers.

Elizabeth Bennet:
That's because she's shy!

Mr. Darcy:
Bingley too is modest, and was persuaded that she didn't feel strongly for him.

Elizabeth Bennet:
Because you suggested it!

Mr. Darcy:
I did it for his own good!

Elizabeth Bennet:
My sister hardly shows her true feelings to me. [silence] I suppose his... fortune had some bearing?

Mr. Darcy:
No, I wouldn't do your sister the dishonour it was just merely suggested...

Elizabeth Bennet:
What was?

Mr. Darcy:
[pause] It was clear that an advantageous marriage would be the worst option possible...

Elizabeth Bennet:
Did my sister give that impression?

Mr. Darcy:
No! No, there was, however, the matter of your family...

Elizabeth Bennet:
Our want of connection? Mr.Bingley did not seem to object...

Mr. Darcy:
No, it was more than that.

Elizabeth Bennet:
How, sir?

Mr. Darcy:
It was the lack of propriety shown by your mother, your three younger sisters, and even, on the occasion, your father. [thunder clash, Elizabeth is hurt] Forgive me. You and your sister I must exclude from this.

Elizabeth Bennet:
And what about Mr.Wickham?

Mr. Darcy:
Mr.Wickham?

Elizabeth Bennet:
What excuse can you give for your behavior toward him?

Mr. Darcy:
You take an eager interest.

Elizabeth Bennet:
He told me of his misfortunes.

Mr.Darcy:
Oh, they have been great.

Elizabeth Bennet:
You ruin his chances yet treat him with sarcasm.

Mr. Darcy:
So this is your opinon of me? Thank you for explaining so fully. Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked had your pride not been hurt by my scruples about our relationship. Am I to rejoice in the inferiority of your circumstances?

Elizabeth Bennet:
And those are the words of a gentleman? From the moment I met you your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of other made me realize that you are the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.
